Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Jews where ousted from the region too, but if it’s long enough, then tough shit?

If it means doing what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for the past 70+ years, then yes. Why on earth are the Palestinians of today repaying for something that happened centuries ago?

That's not what I'm saying, I'm just pointing to a double standard that you seem to apply.

That's not what a double standard is. It would only apply if both situations were happening simultaneously or relatively close together. Kind of like America's unconditional support for Ukraine to fight against an oppressive state compared to what they're doing at the same time for Israel. That's an actual double standard.
